Frequently Asked Questions

How is CAD Exchanger Cloud API licensed?

CAD Exchanger Cloud API is licensed under the traditional subscription model with monthly payments. You get access to the API once you have subscribed to the applicable CAD Exchanger Cloud plan(s).

How is API access counted?

Your monthly subscription includes a certain amount of conversions. They are consumed when invoking conversion API or when manually importing/exporting files through the user account’s dashboard.

Not consumed conversions expire in 30 days. Additional conversions can be pre-purchased and they can be charged separately depending on the file type. Contact us if you need to pre-purchase in volume.

How secure is data storage?

CAD Exchanger Cloud is deployed in Microsoft Azure which provides superior data security and encryption mechanisms. Using public clouds from leading cloud providers ensures security superior to what most small, medium or even enterprise companies can ensure themselves.
